Also. You don't have to be an LPN first. You can go to a 2 year RN program straight out of high school or whatever you want. You could even go 4 years and get your BSN.... you don't have to be an LPN first. Really, it makes it harder if you are. LPN bridge programs are scarce, and I would have to start all over to be a BSN.
